Product Description

Eight years ago, Dr. Thomas J. Stanley swept aside the mythical magic curtain of wealth to reveal The Millionaire Next Door. America found out just who and how common the truly wealthy were in this country-and we learned the characteristics and habits that made them so. Now the author of the follow-up The Millionaire Mind focuses on one of the least understood but increasingly rich demographics: Millionaire Women Next Door, available in paperback for the first time.

"Why write another book that profiles millionaires?" Stanley asks. "The vast majority of the millionaire respondents (92 percent) in The Millionaire Next Door were men. . . . I felt that it was indeed time for successful businesswomen of the self-made variety to be heard." Readers everywhere will be fascinated by Stanley's thoroughly researched findings and conclusions. They'll come away considerably more knowledgeable and greatly inspired by women who have found the key to riches.

Millionaire Women Next Door explores the meaning of wealth and the avenues that female entrepreneurs and businesspeople have traveled. The book examines their choices, natures, working styles, and lifestyles.

1.0 out of 5 stars Big Disappointment, February 15, 2007

By	Freel "Eyes Wide Open" (CA) - See all my reviews

This book had the potential to be a trailblazer, but was vague and lacked substance. It even fell short of being motivational, which is what seemed to be the intent of the author. Perhaps Mr. Stanley should stick to writing about millionaire men, because he doesn't capture the spirit of "the millionaire women." A better read is Barbara Stanny's "Prince Charming Isn't Coming," or "Secrets of Six Figure Income Women" which I found informative and motivational. Mr. Stanley give me something I can use...or at least feel.

5.0 out of 5 stars very good and inspiring stories, May 26, 2009

By	I. Wong (UK) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

i hope today's high school would teach material like this. no need to enforce exams on this subject. just enjoy some good story telling. when kids are young, these are great stories to read about. and more related to their daily life than reading anicient deceased people.

I really enjoyed this book. I enjoyed reading about women who are millionaires and how they spend their money. It is good to know that becoming a millionaire is possible for all women in all walks of life no matter what the circumstances. I gave this book to my daughter to use as a reference point.
